Growing up one of my favorite boys bands were New Kids on the Block. They could dance and sing plus they had style. Did you see their hair?!

Note: Sponsored through the Role Mommy Writer's Network. I was invited as media to the screening and interview. However, any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.


Fast forward a few years later and I'm now part of a group getting ready to interview them about the second season of their show Rock This Boat.


When New Kids on the Block (Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood) came on stage, I was amazed. Yes they had grown into adult men but there was still that charm about them.


A charm I noticed during watching the preview episode of Rock This Boat: Season 2. But the charm of the guys is not just TV based. It flows from them in real life also.

I admit I was a bit surprised that the guys were both charming and SO real. Like down to earth, sit around sharing jokes, being honest about how hard it is filming at their age and discussing blogging... kinda real.

It's this same realness that fans can see and love, even after all these years. It's this realness that makes Rock This Boat, a great show to watch and enjoy as a fan (new or long time). Make sure to tune in!
